I respond to the Monday letter “Running mate’s qualification is sickening” from Phyllis Wright,
who wrote: “Isn’t it a sad situation when a candidate for Ohio governor’s most-important
qualification for his chosen running mate is the fact that she also supports the killing of
helpless unborn babies?”

On the other hand, isn’t it a sad situation when the dominant political party in not only Ohio,
but also the U.S. House of Representatives, opposes health care for all citizens, and removes food
stamps, unemployment compensation and retirement benefits from those who have earned them?

Honestly, which is more sickening, politicians who’d abort fetuses, or those who abort the lives
of the down-on-their-luck, helpless sick, unemployed and retired by cutting off their benefits?
